Well the 1st thing i see is the pot is wayyy to big. Give it a pot that is one inch bigger than the root ball. And what kind of sun is it getting, is that an east facing window or ? It needs alot of sun. Also do you fertilize it?

Needs more light. They thrive in all day full sunlight or at least 8 hours of direct sun and bright indirect light the rest of the day. That’s how I got mine to flourish. My did better in standard potting mix when I put it outside. 🪴🍀

Ok thank you guys I don’t fertilize it and it’s facing north part sun part shade

You could buy some plant food for it. Maybe the roots are not growing properly and need some plant food to help
